I'm having trouble with my DAC, speakers, streamer, etc.
What best describes the issue with your audio device?
My device used to show up in Settings > Audio, now it's gone
hI have conducted multiple experiments, and the comparative results are as follows, leading me to strongly suspect that there might be a compatibility issue between the system and the decoder. My decoder is a V90, and I need your assistance.
1. Laptop + QQ Music + 3.5mm RCA cable works fine. 2. Laptop with Roon + local music + 3.5mm RCA works fine. 3. Laptop + QQ Music + DAC + amplifier + speakers works fine. 4. Laptop + Roon + DAC + amplifier results in distorted music. 5. NUC + Euphony + Roon + HQPlayer + DAC results in distorted music.
My decoder is a V90, and the configuration for HQ is a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, with output at 24-bit and below 96 kHz.
Hello,thanks for you reply ,I set the volume through the amplifier, but the current issue is that the music decoded by the decoder is severely distorted, with a lot of electronic noise and static. I suspect it might be a compatibility issue with the Roon system."
I tried to make changes according to your guidance, adjusting to a fixed volume, but it still didn’t work. So I conducted other tests using my NUC.When I use the embedded Roon system with HQplayer, my settings are as follows, but the output is still distorted, even though HQplayer has already accessed the decoder’s relevant input ports.I am at my wit’s end
@otto.ixy, maybe posting to the HQ Player category would be helpful if @Menzies’ suggestion about the Headroom being set does not resolve your issue. The developer of HQ Player, jussi_laako, is active in that category.
I am currently using clipping, and I have found it to be effective. When the headroom is continuously adjusted from -3dB to -14.5dB, there is a noticeable improvement in the distortion. However, through the link you provided, I was unable to find where to view the “Watch out for the Clipping” section in the link, which leaves me uncertain whether the issue has been completely resolved and whether further adjustment is necessary.
“I am currently facing a new issue. In the setup of laptop + Roon + DAC, adjusting the MuSE parameter to -18.5 dB makes the noise virtually inaudible. So I tried to see if the setup of NUC + Roon + HQplayer + DAC would still work effectively. As I gradually increased the parameter from 0 dB upwards, the effect also improved. However, it seems that the Roon system only supports up to -30 dB, at which point there is still some distortion present. I wonder how I should address this issue? Here is a screenshot of my settings.”
